Artist/Band: John Hiatt
Lyrics for Song: New Numbers
Lyrics for Album: Two Bit Monsters [1980]



Stand before it to the nines

Hurry up and get in line

They've got your ashes scattered

Before you even burn



Blasting off for baby town



Wearing cars like angel gowns

Even though I'm wearin' tatters

I just can't wait my turn



CHORUS:

'Cause I've got

New numbers don't understand

New numbers I'm gettin' out of hand

New numbers countin' on me for

New numbers



Oh your body still behaves

Standard issue mindless slave

Somebody gave you your papers

You just stuck around



Now I wanna make a scene



Interrupt your magazine

You're all so tucked in and tapered

I'd only let you down



CHORUS



I took the last train home and I

I can't remember the faces

I'm adding up possibilities

How's the view at twenty paces



CHORUS

New numbers

New numbers
